Doesn't work well with stock markers which use a custom fill color (e.g. white), or open unfilled stroked paths, or filled unstroked paths:
- EmptyDiamond{L,M,S,Lstart,Mstart,Sstart,Lend,Mend,Send}
- EmptytriangleIn{L,M,S}
- EmptyTriangelOut{L,M,S}
- SemiCircle{In,Out}
- Curve{In,Out,Cross}
- Scissors
- Legs
- Torso
- InifiteLine{End,Start}

Allow users to opt out of the new feature (and keep markers unforked)?

AFAICT current patch breaks "Custom markers" (menu 'Object > Objects to Marker') [1]:
- Newly created custom markers are not added to list of available markers anymore (can't be applied).
- Custom markers already existing in the <defs> section (e.g. from the user template file, or when editing an existing file) are listed, but don't stick when selected as {start,mid,end}-marker (immediately reverts to 'None').

To be tested:
- Any unintended side-effects on markers modified with the enhanced extension 'Marker Colors…' (bug #692582) in current trunk?
